Our Story

With the ever increasing cost, and continuous rising of the price of cooking oil, it was established that there was a need and demand for a cost effective and easy to use solution to help drive down the cost of food processing and manufacturing. We set out with the intension to design a unit that extends the life of cooking oil which then reduces the end users’ costly outlay on cooking oil on a monthly basis.

The solution is a is a bio-mechanical process that has been developed to increase the life of the cooking oil utilizing photocatalytic technology. Not only did we achieve this, but we were also able to enhance and ensure the consistency of the food quality being produced. No wonder the Eco Fry has been nominated for the 9th Annual African Excellence Awards 2026 by MEA Markets.

There are similar products on the market, as well as powders, chemicals and costly filtration devices, that attempt to try and achieve similar results that the Eco Fry has achieved. However, the Eco Fry units are the only ones that are so cost effective that they have a return on investment in under 3 months.

Additionally, the Eco Fry units are the only ones that have been designed to be adaptable to any unique fryer and that are able to be scaled up or down depending on the needs of the end user or fryer

The key objectives and criteria of the ECOFRY:

1. Affordable

2. Reduce Oil
consumption

3. Effective

4. Easy to use

5. No alterations or modifications.

6. Enhance and ensure food QUALITY

7. No recuring
monthly cost

8. Longevity

Tried and tested!

Designed for Every Kitchen

ECOFRY is proud to be the only manufacturer offering compact catalytic units—approximately the size of a standard smartphone—specifically designed and competitively priced for smaller countertop fryers. This innovation makes professional oil-saving technology accessible to the rapidly growing global market of food trucks, cafés, kiosks, convenience stores, and independent food outlets, as well as larger commercial kitchens.

Proven Performance. Engineered to Last.

ECOFRY catalytic oil treatment units have been extensively tested in real-world commercial kitchens, delivering exceptional, measurable results for restaurants, cafés, takeaways, food trucks, and catering businesses for many years. Trusted by food service professionals, ECOFRY has earned its reputation by helping businesses reduce cooking oil costs while maintaining consistently high food quality.

Our technology has continually evolved from the original “Tea Bag” design to today’s advanced Generation 4 (GEN 4) units. Every generation has been refined through practical experience and customer feedback, resulting in a product that is stronger, more efficient, and built for the demanding commercial kitchen environment.

The latest GEN 4 units feature a sleek, robust stainless steel housing combined with an improved high-concentration ceramic circular pellet, delivering enhanced durability and optimum catalytic performance.

Reliability!

Virtually Maintenance Free

ECOFRY units require virtually no maintenance beyond routine cleaning and degreasing as part of your normal fryer maintenance schedule. There are no consumable parts to replace and no regular servicing required, making ECOFRY one of the most cost-effective oil management solutions available.

Our long-term field data has recorded numerous units that have now exceeded five years of continuous commercial use while continuing to perform effectively. Based on these proven results, we confidently assure our customers that ECOFRY units have an operational lifespan that extends well beyond the five-year mark, delivering exceptional value and a return on investment year after year.

ECOFRY isn’t just designed to save cooking oil—it’s engineered to deliver years of reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and long-term savings for your business.

Built with Safety and Reliability in Mind

Unlike conventional ceramic products, the ECOFRY ceramic discs are securely enclosed within a durable stainless steel frame fitted with a fine stainless steel mesh. This design ensures that, even if a ceramic disc should crack or break, no fragments can enter the cooking oil or contaminate food.

Even more importantly, cracked or broken ceramic discs do not reduce the effectiveness of the unit. Because the ceramics are infused throughout with our specialised bio-mechanical formulation, they remain fully functional. In fact, fractured ceramics can slightly increase the exposed surface area, allowing the catalytic process to continue just as effectively.

While damaged ceramics may not look aesthetically perfect, they perform just as efficiently as intact ones. There is therefore no need to replace or repair cracked ceramic discs, allowing you to continue operating with complete confidence.
